Dear All, On Labor Day, my Food Stamps come in, & we'll do the major monthly food shopping at Whole Foods.  I got the bright idea of choosing recipes IN THE STORE, so thAT I would be able to price ALL the ingredients for each dish.  As I expected, cabbage (organic) is cheapest -- I can get either Napa or Savoy, both are nice.  (It's 99cents/lb.)  One head of cabbage will make 2 dishes; I only need to wrap the 2nd half of the cabbage tightly.  I decided to make from Madhur Jaffrey's WORLD VEGETARIAN cookbook the following 2 items:

Chinese sweet-&-sour cabbage -- I only need orange marmelade, which I can use in lots of other ways.

&

Chinese stir-fried cabbage with a gingery milk sauce.  (I'll use soymilk.)

I also picked up the specials flyer.

It will now be very easy to prepare my shopping lsit.  Yours in Him, Deb

At my whole foods at the customer service desk there is a coupon book.  Had some deals that maybe you could use to.  I have been pricing whole foods out and right now they aren't as expensive as I thought.  Especially if you buy what is on sale their.  I have also been going and getting the fruits and vegetables that are on sale so its almost best I don't go in with preconceived notions of what I want.

Dear LexiJoJo, Yes, I use whatever coupons Whole Foods gives out in-store, plus the mailed-to-me Mambo Sprouts Whole Foods coupons.  Yours in Him, Deb
